I love all these videos what a tragedy this was worse way possible to die fully aware nasa tried to cover the fact up as u know that they didn't die until water impact I mean at least 3 had their personal emergency air turned on probably all were fully aware
Can you imagine the feeling that the finalists felt when the shuttle blew up? The feeling of shock, followed by sadness for Christa. Then being grateful that they weren't chosen!
Yes! And then didn’t the runner up end up becoming an astronaut anyway? Idk if I could’ve done that. Kudos to her for having the courage to do that. ***watching now it’s Barbara, the one interviewed after Christa.
Her father's trepidation is so heartbreaking. He had a bad feeling about it the whole time. No evidence of any issues with the space shuttle known to the public beforehand so there was something to that gutted feeling in his stomach.
30 + years later and I still tear up. Christa was such a sweet soul and did not deserve to go like that. None of that crew did. They were doomed from the start. 😢
Her acceptance speech always freaks me out. It's just so strange why she worded it the way she did. She was a beautiful person and Barbara flies for her now.
Poor Beautiful Christa.. and the other lovely souls that lost their life. She was so full of life and excited… should never have happened. Horrific disaster.. makes me shiver.
Dude! How do you come across this prodigious footage???!!!! You're awesome. 51L unfortunately has faded and today's kids don't know about this important space in time in our history :(
People forget that the shuttle program was a monumental feat of engineering designed in the early 70’s on paper with no computers. It is a testimony to the talent and resilience of the astronauts and support crews. I think it was a great time in the USA and has influenced our culture to this day. The brave souls who died would be proud of Elon Musk pushing forward with their dream.
It has absolutely nothing to do with whether "computers" were used or not. The Shuttle program was a cheaply budgeted, patched-together affair which had many, many design compromises. So when that poor engineering is then combined with incompetency at all levels, we have "go for throttle-up...........crackle, crackle...."
1. The space shuttle was no such thing. It was a mangled mess of ideas severely compromised by budget constraints (no fault of the engineers) 2. The brave souls were not likely to be billionaire bootlickers like you. They may admire the people actually did the work on space x projects, but not an apartheid mine trust fund kid.
This is a historical treasure. Thank you zellco for putting this together. After seeing/remembering Christa's enthusiasm, I wonder if she would be disappointed at the glacial pace of progress since the Challenger disaster? I mean, she was talking about "our" grandchildren living on space stations, which we are still a long way from. She was a very special person, as were the 6 astronauts she died with. An entire generation has been born/raised since the tragedy, many of whom are unaware it ever happened. However, for those of us that do remember after almost 28 years now, it is still hard to watch these videos without feeling a little emotional.
I was 16 and in Algebra class when we lost Challenger. I’ll never forget it. NASA carefully planned and executed very specific Public Relations for this mission. Christa was all over the news for months and months before the launch, particularly the final month prior. This careful P.R. plan completely backfired/blew up (no pun intended) for NASA on the morning of January 28th. The opposite of everything they hoped to accomplish came true, and the accident really ruined the program for years to come. That was basically the end of “ordinary citizens” going into space. Christa trusted NASA completely, and that was her mistake. They were more concerned with the right publicity than they were with safety. I often think of how her children had to grow up without a mother. No one ever talks about that.
Thank you so much for uploading this. It is so hard to find footage of christa and the other finalists! This video also reminds us of that challenger was all about hope, courage, and the future of a nation. The disaster eclipsed that but this video helps us remember the truth of the moment.
fate is really unfair! christa .. you did not have the right to die! you were beautiful! you loved life! you loved your family! why did it end like that? you are in my memory forever christa. peace to your soul . I hope you are appraised where you are : ''(
With the benefit of hindsight, you can see the public/media/PR pressure that factored into NASA's decision to launch. News reports of "embarrassing" delays, voice inflections indicating impatience ("Unless it's put off AGAIN." "Will they go TODAY?" "Delayed the launch for weather which turned out to be perfect.") or the near-criticism of the ineptitude of not having the right drill - or that the drill ran out of batteries - when they had the hatch issue. The safety culture at NASA was the main contributor to the decision to launch but PR pressure was also an issue. This is a fantastic compilation. If you're still around zellco, thanks for this.
That was some really shameful reporting by a lot of this media. They essentially framed safety precautions as "embarrassing delays". Albeit, that is not excuse for nasa to do what they did.
What a lovely poised soul she was. I bet her students and all her friends just loved her immensely. So tragic that idiotic managers failed to protect her and all the other astronauts on Challenger.
It’s sad because she said “I do plan on being back in the classroom and The Teacher in space program would lose an awful lot if the teacher never returned to the classroom”
Just a darling of a person. God love you. 33 years later. And the rest of those poor souls have never been forgotten. I wanted to add with everything I know now and didn't know then I'd be scared to death. I mean, the signs were there, the many delays because of the weather, but none of them had any reservations, whatsoever. They all wanted to go up and I can understand that, but if God wasn't telling them something I don't know what was. They lifted off and 73 seconds later, they were gone. Just so sad.
I feel the same. I didnt know of what happend before the launch until recently. I was young & just remember seeing the news & feeling sad & shocked. Always stuck in my mind. Now to know that there were a few things that were not right before take offI would have backed out. 😢😢😢
She was one off Americans back bone off the country and for thousands and thousands of years will never be forgot also along with the others on board that horable day God bless graham from UK lake Windermere
If time travel was possible, this is one of many disasters I'd change, so it never happened. Christa seemed a lovely person from what I have saw from video interviews and how she presented herself. Plus, lets not forget the rest of the crew that died
@@vanquishable7844 Why not? If you went back with all the videos and evidence we have now and presented it anonymously in advance, those in charge would have to accept and it take seriously somehow.
I bet those other teacher was very glad they were not picked, really dodged a bullet, a big huge exploding bullet that is. I know that sounds awful and the one that was picked and died on that day was so so sad but she is forever be remembered. Rest in peace teacher and for the rest of the crew.
1:07:56 Before this segment, NASA asked Morton Thiokol if they had any concerns about launching in the cold. That sent Thiokol into a frenzy because they knew that launching in 18 degreeF would cause a catastrophe because they knew that in the cold that the O-rings would have a hard time getting into position to seal and keep the hot gases at bay. Roger Boisjoly and Bob Eberling realized that launching in cold temperatures like what is forecasted was suicide. Both NASA and Morton Thiokol then scheduled a teleconference to go over the data and make their recommendations. During the teleconference, Engineers at Morton Thiokol pleaded with NASA not to launch Challenger in the cold because of concerns about the O-rings. NASA hammered the living daylights out of Thiokol with one engineer saying "Where is the data, I can't call off a launch because you don't feel comfortable?" another was appalled by the recommendations to not launch, another said "My god Thiokol, when do you want me to launch, next April?". Eventually, Morton Thiokol called a five minute break to reevaluate the data. Roger Boisjoly and Bob Eberling pleaded with the managers to not recommend launch but were ignored. One of the mangers asked Bob Lund to "Take off this engineer hat and put on his management hat." The managers overruled the recommendations of their own engineers and when they got back on-line with NASA that said that in spite of the concerns that they had about the cold, that they were "go for launch".
Not my teacher that put in for it before she was really excited then afterwards you could see different emotions while she went to turn the TV off to keep us kids from hearing or seeing too much then had to start giving us lessons
It's soo sad that today in 2022 the kids are not interested or inspired by aviation and space.I feel all this got destroyed by excessive government regulation.You can't go to your local airport and see and touch a private aircraft Your not even allowed on the ramp.All airports are gated all the way around them.There is even excessive government regulation on flying model aircraft.They want FAA registration.And next year remote ID will be required on all model aircraft.I was born with the love of aviation.I am a private pilot,A&P mechanic and R/C flyer and modeler and have been for over 50 years.I have experienced plenty of change over the years.And most of the changes are having a negative effect in our future aviators.
Government regulation? Seriously? Kids don't have an interest in aviation and space because, up until the last month, *we've not done much* as a nation. Multi-billionaires with space toys don't capture imaginations. Sending test dummies around the moon? Meh. Maybe, maybe when we start sending humans to Mars, there'll be interest, but until then? I don't blame the kids. There's no excitement in boldly going where dozens of others have gone before.
What was sooooo sad abiut th is is that there was so much positive anticipation leading up to the launch of the Challenger, "FIRST SCHOOL TEACHER IN SPACE", only for the explosion to happen, then a period of DOOM and GLOOM.
Her life would have been very different had the disaster not happened. I wonder if she would have stayed on teaching. There would have been many offers of TV and much, much more. Sadly, such a magnificent life wasted all because of pompous men, not wanting to look bad.
Does anyone know who the journalist interviewing Christa at 25:00 is? By the way, excellent footage! I've been following your channel for years. It's interesting to know what would've happened on the mission.
I always found it odd how some of the late astronauts' wives/husbands dated and remarried only like 3, 4, 5 years later. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to date ANYONE let alone marry someone else for years and years, if at all.
To each their own. Those survivors still had to live lives. I'm quite confidant the memories of these lost astronauts remain with their loved ones forever, regardless of the paths their subsequent lives take. R I P to all those lost.
They were relatively young and they had the right to rebuild their lives . Wherever the astronauts were, I’m sure they would’ve liked their spouses to find someone to love and go on with their lives. I don’t know the details but 3 years seems perfectly normal to find someone. You can’t wallow in grief forever.
You never know what a person is dealing with when a tragedy strikes them. I think 3, 4 or 5 years to find and marry someone else isn’t bad. But grief is different for everyone.
Curious that after all the coverage leading up to it, the launch failure would be omitted from your compilation. From an aspiring film maker, the dramatic effect would be stronger to include it. And, the explosion would have had more of an impact on the new generation of humankind who were not born before the accident happened. Great video coverage, although the opening segments were a little hard to make out. Good editing of material.
Thomas from the perspective of someone who lived through it, I saw first hand how the explosion and the death of the astronauts overshadowed the initial purpose of the mission. The press exploited the accident and challenger went on to be remembered as a space disaster. By not including the explosion, this video re-introduces a new generation learners to the educationsl purpose of challenger, to the ordinary teacher who was to become the first private citizen in space, and to the lives of the other 6 astronauts who were all geniuses in their fields. I was 5 years old when this happened and as an adult, this video took me back to the original vision and purpose NASA had for this flight and how its purpose still today greatly outshines the darkness of the disaster.
4:22 According to the books "I Touch The Future: The Story of Christa McAuliffe" and "Teacher In Space: Christa McAuliffe and The Challenger Legacy" (pg. 35-36) A week before Christa was chosen, there was an accident at Space Camp on the ride called the "Lunar Odyssey" when 19yr old Greg Walker unstrapped himself and started to move around while the ride was in motion and was thrown around and was eventually slammed through the wall near Christa's seat and into the machinery below. Following the teachers frantic shouts, the ride was shut down. To Christa's horror, she found the boys mangled body and pointed him out to rescuers. Several hours later, she found out that the boy had died of his injuries. Christa would be haunted by that event for the next six months.
1:07:56 Before this segment, This conversation between Roger Boisjoly and his wife: "Dear, how was your day?" "Oh it was great, even though we're going to kill seven astronauts tomorrow. Other than that, it was great."
@@8-bitsteve500 I feel sorry for you that you have these feelings of atheism. In fact It is even more prevalent that there is a God. The fact of all these delays and about how the world is just getting worse. With God there is the Devil. And with the Devil there is hatred and disbelief.
@@achill6080 Whatever floats your boat man but no. There's no "man in the sky" and I'm glad there is not a god, because if there was a god I would hate him/her/it. For letting things like the Holocaust happen, for letting millions die in WW1 and WW2, for letting rapists, murderers and paedos do what they do.
Silly question: Why is there a launch window at all? If it doesn't have a specific destination (e.g. the ISS) then why does it matter when they launch?
Those who overrode the opinion of design engineers at Thiokol to not to launch, made an abominable betrayal of crew members and the public altogether. History was written, but hardly acknowledged, as proven twenty years later, this time on the return trip...
Not really... she didn't really have a dramatic life and was happily married with an average everyday life. What's the movie going to show that would be so cinematic other than her terrible demise?
RE: Thunderbolt.. Where the hell do you imply that she had the final legal authority say when NASA was going to launch the shuttle she was in? i'm not a teacher myself nor have i ever personally known her but you have no right or any business to make a generalize stereotype judgement about all teachers thinking "they are above" every other human.
@EF2000CanFly : Dude, have some respect! What have you ever done for mankind? You're nothing but a loser, hating on people, mostly but not exclusively women, who achieved more than you.. And unlike them, nobody will remember you.. 🤷♂️

Yes! And then didn’t the runner up end up becoming an astronaut anyway? Idk if I could’ve done that. Kudos to her for having the courage to do that. ***watching now it’s Barbara, the one interviewed after Christa.

I feel so sorry for her she really wanted this Trip so excited to Fly in a Shuttle! RIP to Christa & the other Astronauts.

17:32 she didn't realise that the future for children would not be in space but in the internet, social media, selfies and smartphones LOL
even in 1985, you must be a very naive person to dream of "business in space." Why? Did she dream of trade with the Marsians? XD
Roger Boisjoly tried every way to stop the launch....
Christa McAuliffe was given her 15 minutes of Fame and then she was gone!.
So did another of the engineers. He refused to sign the letter of agreement.
This is just sad to watch. Christa McAuliffe was so excited and overjoyed about this. Just tragic that it ended up in tragedy

I was 5 years old when this happened and as an adult, this video took me back to the original vision and purpose NASA had for this flight and how its purpose still today greatly outshines the darkness of the disaster.

Many unexpected delays= warning signs
4:22 According to the books "I Touch The Future: The Story of Christa McAuliffe" and "Teacher In Space: Christa McAuliffe and The Challenger Legacy" (pg. 35-36) A week before Christa was chosen, there was an accident at Space Camp on the ride called the "Lunar Odyssey" when 19yr old Greg Walker unstrapped himself and started to move around while the ride was in motion and was thrown around and was eventually slammed through the wall near Christa's seat and into the machinery below. Following the teachers frantic shouts, the ride was shut down. To Christa's horror, she found the boys mangled body and pointed him out to rescuers. Several hours later, she found out that the boy had died of his injuries. Christa would be haunted by that event for the next six months.
😮Whoa..... yikes!
The 15,000 delays was the universe Screaming
DO NOT GO
1:07:56 Before this segment, This conversation between Roger Boisjoly and his wife:
"Dear, how was your day?"
"Oh it was great, even though we're going to kill seven astronauts tomorrow. Other than that, it was great."
I love Christa forever!
And Barbara!
With the delays and bad weather, one must figure that God didn't want them to go
its 2019, not 1419, stop believing in a man in the sky.
@@8-bitsteve500 I feel sorry for you that you have these feelings of atheism. In fact It is even more prevalent that there is a God. The fact of all these delays and about how the world is just getting worse. With God there is the Devil. And with the Devil there is hatred and disbelief.
@@achill6080 Whatever floats your boat man but no. There's no "man in the sky" and I'm glad there is not a god, because if there was a god I would hate him/her/it. For letting things like the Holocaust happen, for letting millions die in WW1 and WW2, for letting rapists, murderers and paedos do what they do.
Everyone is entitled to their own beliefs without being shamed.
@@marciarowley3976 I agree. Atheists can be so damned nasty.
I wonder if her mom had an inkling something wasn't gonna be right
Silly question: Why is there a launch window at all? If it doesn't have a specific destination (e.g. the ISS) then why does it matter when they launch?
@Brandon Bennetzen Thanks for the response! I'd forgotten they had a satellite to launch.
Christa said it will be a incredible experience wow guess so
I'm sorry but that many delays???? 😭😧
If God is willing that humans set foot on Mars and return to Earth there really should not be any human flight mission further than Mars ever again.
41:10-41:25: Steven McAulliffe's husband should have been listened to by those managers who overruled the Thiokol engineers. They betrayed his trust.
Why don't start up this again in 2020?.
If it had been any other mission it would not of had near the impact, nor if it malfunctioned in space...similiar to 911 it was like a movie
Alguem assistindo??😎💚🦋💜
Somebody should talked this teacher out of going on that flight? 🚀💥💀
School teachers out there, don't do it! There's going to be a disaster? 🚀 💥💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
Wonderful PR?
McAuliffe definitely did experiments on Newton's Law.
Those who overrode the opinion of design engineers at Thiokol to not to launch, made an abominable betrayal of crew members and the public altogether. History was written, but hardly acknowledged, as proven twenty years later, this time on the return trip...
Morton Thiokol`s fault for not doing multiple low temp trials. They would have seen their orings fail
51:43. Wow he got that totally wrong.
This is one contest you don't want to win.
Vincent Lem only in retrospect. Had I been on her shoes I’d been glowing as well.
That's just Monday Morning Quarterbacking, I would've gone if my name had been picked.
Never heard of that egg experiment. Those chicks never became celebrities. :(
This is pre launch video
The next Hollywood blockbuster - on day!
Not really... she didn't really have a dramatic life and was happily married with an average everyday life. What's the movie going to show that would be so cinematic other than her terrible demise?
They made a movie of it with Karen Allen.
John Quinones looks so young here lol
No not the eggs!!!!!! 😢
Exploring "space"? To what end? I'd like to see the government explore cutting federal taxes by 50% or more.
Why did they have a backup for Christa?
In case Christa couldn't do it
RE: Thunderbolt.. Where the hell do you imply that she had the final legal authority say when NASA was going to launch the shuttle she was in? i'm not a teacher myself nor have i ever personally known her but you have no right or any business to make a generalize stereotype judgement about all teachers thinking "they are above" every other human.
relax
Alguém assistindo??🇦🇺😎😊🖤😚☯️💜💀🦋💋
Fix the O-rings frist then I will go into space? 🚀
I bet she wishes that she was a stay at home mother when it failed.
Thats fucked up
@EF2000CanFly : Dude, have some respect!
What have you ever done for mankind? You're nothing but a loser, hating on people, mostly but not exclusively women, who achieved more than you.. And unlike them, nobody will remember you.. 🤷♂️
@@07Flash11MRC Vanity... this is all vanity says the preacher! You need to wise up and stop being a feminist. It is a satanic doctrine from hell
6:24 OOF
The teachers that we're not picked, you guys escaped death? 🚀 💥💀
So it was Ronald Reagan's fault cuz the teacher died💥💀 on that shuttle accident? 😳
41:05 OMG
They all came back to earth 🌎 🚀 💥💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
It's Reagan fault why this teacher died? 💀
The President of the United States has no launch authority outside the order to launch nuclear weapons.
There was egg all over the inside of that shuttle
